The IECEx-ATEX approved adapter, male one side, female other side, type BAC, is originally developed to connect threaded rigid conduits. But it can be used also to protect unarmoured cables with a flexible metal conduit, in potentially explosive atmospheres (ATEX), in case a 45˚ or 90˚ solution is needed. The connection with an Anaconda conduit is made through a standard male Anaconda swivel fitting 45˚ or 90˚ which is screwed into the female thread of the adapter. Because RNA cable hose fittings are available only till 1.1/4”, and a solution for big sizes is needed, it is also possible to use the BAC adapter from 1.1/2” up to 3” size in combination with Anaconda standard fittings. They are frequently used in the chemical and petrochemicalindustry, Oil & Gas, off-shore and food industry. On demand there are also available, a version for armoured cable (type RAC), a barrier version for unarmoured cable (type BXC) and a barrier version for armoured cables (type BAC).
